Benji is no spring chicken but we really need to find a replacement for the 6 next year if Douihei locks down.

Mbye. In fact, we need to move him so we can get talau in.


Mbye is an enigma. He SHOULD be our best fullback, he is perfect for that position, except he cant catch. IMO so far his best performances for us have been at centre (his defence has been outstanding there).

What we have seen too little of, but I was shocked when I saw it, is his passing game. He has a GREAT pass, like REALLY good. He could be a maybe a good 6 but it didn't work at the Bulldogs.

He SHOULD be a great 1 or 6 but has never made it click.

I still believe he is a high quality fullback, played busted all last year.

I think he is potentially a quality fullback......if he could catch bombs. The fact that they have bought Douiehi and have played Corey ahead of him suggests to me that Mbye has had a line through his name at fullback.

I still believe that was a confidence issue due to his knee, but I do agree with the rest of your post.
 
Pretty well agree as it certainly seemed to be difference over the off-season. Reckon he would go okay in the 6 as well, as the combination of his traits with those of Reynolds at the dogs, was never going to gel as a competent combination.
 
I agree Mbye could be a great fullback, but seriously, his catching is mega suspect. It's a shame because his defensive organisational skills are up there with the best in the NRL. Billy Slater said it himself. I'm happier with him at centre. Great defence and good ball skills.
 
Embye there should be an Mbye thread...

Poor Josh can't get a look in..

Think I would be putting Momo in before Talau - Maybe we could get a team that has been hiding under a rock to take Mbye - good in a lot of positions, master of none.

I hope we move him to the Warriors. Mbye at 5/8 with Brooks would be a disaster. Centre is his only position and with young Talau coming through he should be number one on the list of players being shipped around.

A good utility is Gold !

We are due for some luck
I hope Josh kills it for us this year
It would be good if he can wear the 14 jersey all year
Come on as an impact player
Score a few and set up a few
Add a little niggle into the side

JR will replace Benji by round 5. Benji is washed up.

Just because you say it, doesn't make it so.

His defence, or lack thereof will make it so.

He's also fast. Blindingly fast. When he's fit. I think he just needs time in the one position, be it 1, 3 or 6 and time to form combinations.

People forget about how fast he is. He was known for his pace when he was at bulldogs - he had injuries all year last year so hopefully he’s past that and can be back to full pace

Yep, fingers crossed. I'm hoping the same for Reynolds to be honest. I know it's the done thing to rip into him in here but if he stays fit he's going to be good for us. Off the bench, particularly with the new rules, he could really be something.
